MICK’S STORY

I am in my  40s and have a long history of offending to feed a drug habit. I began to work with Futures Unlocked when I was in Approved Premises. They got me my own accommodation (getting money for the deposit and rent) and supported me while I found work. They even got me some pots and pans and a blow up bed. They got me a provisional driving licence.

Because I was settled I moved from agency work with a company to their full time staff. For the first time in a long time I really enjoy life. I have steered clear of drugs and I am very thankful for all that Futures Unlocked have been able to do for me. I was always grateful for the occasions my mentor bought me breakfast in those early meetings when I was getting myself settled.

“I do not know what I would have done without Future’s Unlocked. I was determined not to go back to prison and with your help I have been able to stay away from trouble.”
